Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Adrienne draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical to use in remote sessions. One approach focuses on identifying attachment patterns and how they shape relationships; this helps people see recurring habits and try new ways of relating. Another common focus is building coping skills for anxiety and stress, using short exercises and step-by-step practices that can be assigned between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so it fits each person's life and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is low or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to process thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity over time.
